Tigers News
The Detroit Tigers' struggles deepened with their 4-2 loss to the Houston Astros, marking a frustrating end to the series and leaving them with a 30-43 record. Despite Casey Mize's promising return from injury, boasting a solid 2.27 ERA, the team failed to capitalize against a mediocre Astros lineup. Adding to the woes, Gleyber Torres has hit the injured list again with another oblique strain, leaving the Tigers even thinner in the infield. The bizarre injury to Wenceel Pérez during a postgame routine only compounds the situation, highlighting the team's recent misfortunes. With a 2-4 record in the last week and a run differential that feels misleading at +10, this team is hard to read right now. The pitcher's arms are doing their part, but the bats must wake up or the season will slip further away.
